Buying

The mushrooms sold in the (Dutch) headshops, smartshops, Paddoshops or coffeeshops are usually Psilocybe mexicana or Psilocybe cubensis, in dried form and the small Liberty caps (Psilocybe semilanceata), which are sometimes fresh. They are also available from professional growers, people growing them at home, or fresh ones come in from England and Denmark. The shops deal with standard doses of 25-30 grams of fresh or 3-5 grams of dried mushrooms. The salesmen know about what each variety is supposed to `do' and adjust the dose consequently. The mentioned quantities are sufficient for a strong trip for one person or for a light - marihuana-like - trip for two. The price to be paid is usually about Hfl. 25,-/$ 15. When you don't have any experience with this kind of substances, be smart and don't take too much, not everyone reacts in the same way and there is also a small chance of allergic reactions (to mushrooms in general).
